All,

I am having a problem I hope you can help me with..

I'm running a basic simulation of a disc galaxy forming with 100,000 particles and getting the following error:

I have had a look at some previous entries to this list and they suggest checking that the smoothing lengths are all non-zero: this I have done and all the relevant smoothing lengths are indeed non-zero.

Any help much appreciated! All the best,
